An Ode to Glossier

Hello! Once again I am sharing an article that I have written for my school’s fashion magazine, Pack Fashion. It’s about the makeup brand Glossier that I have been a long time advocate of from the start. Quite simply this article is a love letter to the makeup brand that started a revolution in letting natural beauty be more than enough. Please enjoy!

What is “everyday beauty” when you’re in college? Do you put on a full face of makeup only for it to melt away on the way to class, or do you not put any makeup on at all and go about your day in a fresh-faced kind of way? For those of the latter, the brand Glossier is ideal for college students. With Glossier more suited for a college budget, what you are offered is for certain what you get and more. Their award-winning perfume, “You” is a unisex scent that is irresistible with notes of ambrette, ambrox, and musk. 

Among their makeup products, their “Boy Brow” is a top seller for many reasons. It helps your brows look defined without looking drawn on, and the formula is so soft it does not make your brows feel stiff either. What makes Glossier so wonderful– and especially wonderful for college students– is how easy the products are to use and that above all else you still look like you after applying the makeup. The eyeshadows called “Lidstar” are offered in a plethora of dreamy colors ranging from an earthy green to pale lilac. The creamy formula is simple to apply as it comes out of a lipgloss tube; it enhances your natural look even more so. 

Glossier also features a variety of models with varying skin tones and different assets to one’s face whether it be a splotch of freckles or a distinctive beauty mark. Glossier embraces differences and celebrates the little things that make us all who we are threefold. The most important aspect this brand embraces is that one’s natural beauty does transcend all the makeup in the world, but a little swipe of lipstick doesn’t hurt from time to time.

“Mad” For TV’s Influence on Fashion

Hello all!! Well, I cannot believe it has taken me so long to write my first post while in college but here it is! This piece I am about to share was published in my college’s fashion magazine. I am so excited to share this work with you as it is one of my favorite articles I have ever written. 

Ever binge-watched a TV show on Netflix? Probably. But have you ever gone so far as to emulate the show in your personal style? It isn’t that uncommon to do so as there is so much to be inspired by in the world of television. TV shows create alternate universes or transport us to times we were not a part of, but after watching we feel we were present with those characters.

One TV show particularly sparked a revolution in retro dressing, bringing back A-line skirts and kitten heels among other timeless styles. This show, Mad Men, made women around the world wild for feminine styles emulating Jackie Kennedy with nipped waists and collarless dresses. Mad Men spans the decade of the 1960’s leading up to 1970’s, and by watching this show, audiences have gained a plethora of inspiration from the styles shown by the brilliant costume designer, Janie Bryant.

Bryant creates a world through her designs in which celebrities and designers alike have joined the retro revival style-wise. Designer Louis Vuitton featured a leather camel A-line skirt paired with a floral bustier, thick black straps, and leather camel gloves in his Fall 2010 collection. This look demonstrated the polished mood from the 60’s while still remaining modern. Even the shoes, dainty kitten heels with big yellow bows, give a nod to the 60’s. Bryant also created an extremely successful collection for Banana Republic, giving shoppers of America a new rendition of 60’s style by way of cigarette trousers, leopard print, and of course cat-eye sunglasses.

It’s safe to say television shows inspire people in real life when it comes to dressing, and it’s exciting to see how fashion and TV work together to help create fabulous style for everyone, and bring back blasts from the past in the fashion department.

Sorry for my longer than usual hiatus, but my school work is really piling up this year! But anyway I still make time to show you all a newfound favorite outfit of mine. I chose to feature this outfit on the blog to show you how both loose shapes of clothing (like the pants and the belle sleeves on the shirt) work together perfectly. Oh and though this is not related to fashion, please keep Paris in your thoughts, I know I will.

Hello all! Finally fall has arrived! And with the help of my friend, Em, she helped me pull this look together. This coat is one of my favorites, ever. The swans on it are so beautiful and the colors on this coat are yummy. As you probably see I am wearing these jeans again (because I love them so). And this turtleneck is the coziest thing I own.

I cannot even tell you how many pairs of jeans I own. There are far too many to count. I have to have a certain wash and a certain length and when it comes to it always the perfect fit. I cannot function if my jeans are too tight or really if anything is too tight… But then I found these jeans. My heart lept with joy as I snuck them from my mother’s closet (oh and thanks mom for letting me keep them!) and put them on. They fit!!! I honestly had no idea if they would since my mother may be the most petite woman on the planet. But hooray! Then I got to thinking what top would equally suit these superb jeans. My eyes found it in an instant, my new, crisp, white embroidered shirt. I put it on and paired the outfit with none other than my beloved clogs. They are heaven personified. Comfortable and they give my short frame some much needed height. I added some jewelry and looked in the mirror and was quite pleased with the look I concocted.

Hello all! I finally have had some photos done by my wonderful friend (and practically sister!) Abigail. She let me use her fabulous jewelry and her mom gave me these shoes! To keep! Best. Day. Ever. I hope you all enjoy this look as I believe it will transition into fall with some cute clogs and a jacket. Voila! And you are ready for fall!

This week on tumblr I thought I would upload some pictures that demonstrate some style pointers for the upcoming, refreshing days of fall. The pieces in these looks will transition from anyone’s summer wardrobe right into the fresh, new season of autumn.

Recently someone gave me (ok, I gave myself) the glorious gift of a set of Sex and the City episodes. I have always adored the show and in my mind considered Carrie a fashion icon. (Who knew a fanny pack and a newspaper boy hat could be so chic!) Samantha and Charlotte have their moments (sorry Miranda) ,but as you can obviously see Carrie is the shining star in the fashion department. And so later I got to thinking, “Why don’t I make Carrie my style inspiration for this weekend?”.

Tumblr is truly a wonderful thing. I have been looking through street style images that have made me so delighted and newly inspired when I opened my closet doors this week. Hopefully these images will provide you with inspiration all week long.
